"No Mississippi" lyrics
"No Mississippi"
(feat. Bekka Bramlett & Delbert McClinton)
I still see tailights in the dark
I still smell your perfume in the air
This is where a fool would fall apart
But I ain't going there
Won't go down in a burst of flames
Won't stay locked up in your chains
Yeah, it hurts but it ain't strong enough to whip me
I might stagger, I might fall
But I won't beg and I won't crawl
A tear or two might fall into my shot of whiskey
But I won't cry no Mississippi
There's nowhere to hide in this small town
I know our paths are bound to cross
I might stand on shaky ground
When I see what I lost but I
Won't go down in a burst of flames
Won't stay locked up in your chains
Yeah, it hurts but it ain't strong enough to whip me
I might stagger, I might fall
But I won't beg and I won't crawl
A tear or two might fall into my shot of whiskey
But I won't cry no Mississippi
Well, I hate to rain on your parade
I hate to make your bubble bust
It'll take more tears than you could make
To turn my heart into rust
Won't go down in a burst of flames
Won't stay locked up in your chains
Yeah, it hurts but it ain't strong enough to whip me
I might stagger, I might fall
But I won't beg and I won't crawl
A tear or two might fall into my
I won't cry no Mississippi

When a man crawled out of a cardboard box
Under the E. Street Bridge
Followed me on to it
I went out halfway across
With that homeless shadow tagging...
Patty Loveless - "How Can I Help You Say Goodbye" Through the back window of a '59 wagon
I watched my best friend Jamie slippin' further away
I kept on waving 'till I couldn't see her
And through my tears, I asked again why we couldn't stay
Mama...
Jack Ingram - "Lips Of An Angel" Honey, why you calling me so late
It's kinda hard to talk right now
Honey, why you crying
Is everything okay
I gotta whisper cause I can't be too loud
Well, my girls in the next room
Sometimes I wish...
Matt Kennon - "The Call" Today was gonna be the day
He'd already wrote the note
And parked that Chevrolet
At the end of that dead end road
Had his finger on the trigger; just about to end everything
He was taking one last...
